Watch the recent Patricia Highsmith book to film adaptation - The Two Faces of January. I think they capture a period vibe pretty well. Infact, 1962, to be precise. Very little in the way of cliches - but lots of atmosphere and a wonderful sense of how much easier it was to get cut off from the rest of the world before mobiles and the internet. That era just suits Bond so much better.
Meh. I'd rather watch a pipe rust than talk about technology, but I suppose that's just me.
You really are up on all the Bond tricks, marketto. Good show.
They can say they will boost it up later...
If Image N has no detail below 2K resolution, you can claim to use Image N+1 and Image N-1 and motion analysis (or some guy on minimal wage doing the motion tracking...) to make Image N more detailed because then you have more information about what should be on Image N from other images.
I think it's all part of the phenomenom that started to make all movie posters look the same at the very beginning of the 1990s. No photos on the movie posters for Roger and the other fellows before. No drawings on the movie posters for Pierce and the other fellow after. And Tim had both somehow. You could do interesting fonts in a poster with drawings, with photos it look a bit out of place.
That is actually quite funny.
That title seems to fit more with the theme of the website. Since this new font was previewed at the Licensing Expo, it is more likely to be used as it is part of the marketing license.
I wonder if companies have to pay to use certain fonts, or if some possibly 'own' distinct fonts (like the Indiana Jones titles)...
And btw, what is the image that Deakins and Mendes composed for the best result ? :)
This IMAX thing was pure marketing. No way Skyfall was shot with IMAX in mind, and borders cropped for the rest of the world...
Here you can see the red line with which they saw what would be shown in theaters.
The marketing guys said at Sony,
- eh, come one, do you see the whole picture around the borders, we can sell it for more dollars :)
- hm, are you sure, here for instance, in the IMAX image the extra looking at the car now becomes the important element of the picture, while the image was clearly made to focus on the car stunt, they took care not to show the extra's head in full, you see.
- uh.. are you serious ?
- no, just kidding ! let's make dollars !
There's a famous anecdote with an helicopter in Shining that only appears in release made in wider formats, "Stanley Kubrick would never have let that pass".
Br has a sharper picture than dvd, all right, but that doesn´t always make it look better. 4K, 8K, 16K won´t change anything about that.
A friend told me it was very boring, so I might pass on that, but I get your point. Still, for me Bond has always been about state of the art. Which has to be used properly of course. The fact that a lot of gadgetry has become solid part of everyday life makes it problematic for Bond films.
I can´t help it, I´m a sucker for widescreen formats. I loved how the latest Godzilla was presented in widescreen. So count me out for IMAX.

Not much info but Logan does say that he has grown tired of writing for Bond and wants to move away from writing big movies and focus on theatre and television. Logan always struck me as a big Bond fan, but his writing in SF was tempered by the work already done by Purvis and Wade, by himself Logan has a tendency to over-indulge (anyone who has seen 'Penny Dreadful' will know how over the top and groanworthy the dialogue is there) Do we think Mendes has brought on or will bring in another writer soon? Who should he get?
- Joe and Ethan Coen occasionally take on gigs as writers-for-hire (Unbroken and Gambit).
- Abi Morgan
- Hossein Amini
- Peter Straughan
- Paul Haggis
We also know his original idea of a two movie arc was abandoned. Does he sound like someone who went on to produce another story then ? He's in Chicago for several weeks, while rumors say the script is still being worked upon at the moment. I posted some photos of him cleary not working on the script in the last weeks. Not sure at all he's involved, IMO.
Asked if Logan's just talked about new musical would be "an original story or based on something", he replies:
"I can't say but it is interesting as I look forward, you know, look at the work I've done, the big movies, the Bonds and things like that, are increasingly less interesting to me because I feel I really have done that, I've walked in that world long enough but the theatre always fascinates me, always has since I was seven, you know, and television which is brand new to me is also fascinating to me. So if I had to look into the future I would imagine I'd be doing theatre and TV, like almost exclusively."
Make of that what you will.
Lets keep on overanalyzing, shall we? :)
Now, now. The last thing we need around here is a mature, levelheaded opinion to interfere with our hyperventilation and bloviation.
